Mahie Gill feels that her decision to do a supporting role in Salman Khan's Dabangg was a bad career move.
The actress, who created quite a storm with her performance in Dev D, told news agency PTI that directors started offering her small roles after her Dabangg role.
Gill essayed the role of Arbaaz Khan's love interest in Dabangg. Reportedly, Arbaaz Khan convinced her to take up the role saying her character was needed in the story.
“After Dev D, I had won a lot of appreciation and awards. People wanted to sign me for films. But I did Dabangg and it backfired big time. The producers started to offer me small roles. I felt very bad but I did not know what was happening. I believe in destiny a lot, I think this was meant to happen. I did regret doing the role but now I do not,” Gill told PTI.
Being part of a commercial movie did not work for her, revealed Gill. “In my case, it backfired. My career stopped at that very point."
Gill is currently awaiting the release of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster and she is grateful to Tigmanshu Dhulia for giving her the opportunity to come back to the limelight.
“I am proud of this series. When we started with the first part, we did not think it will become a hit. The best about this franchise is that it is growing, the characters are the same but the story is in continuity. That is the beauty of this franchise,” she said.
